Sierra's movie poster, "Guards Gone", has a unique creepy vibe. I have to admit, the poster was made too dark and is hard to make out. Unless this was her intention in order to make the dress pop, giving the poster a ghostly feel. If you look up close, you can see the arms and a head in the dress, along with jewelry, but no legs. I would assume that on the cover of the poster is a ghost, hence the killer of the guards. The background reminds me of a dungeon that would be underneath the castle, where most guards are located. A dungeon can be a dark, dingy, eerie place with some insane prisoners. In the movies, long staircases are used to get to dungeons and characters take advantage of that time for lengthy dialogue. Since dungeons are so deep, it would be hard for anyone to hear someone calling for help when being murdered. The title threw me off at first, but after staring at it for awhile, I think the color choice is a good contrast with the dress. Sierra could have

I found this video both very interesting and inspiring. Milton talked about being asked to make a variety of paintings to celebrate the birth of Piero della Francesca. He also tried to make an art piece that explained what art is from his perspective. For both projects, he did not just make one, but many different versions or prototypes. All of them had a different viewpoint. For example, Piero della Francesca's profile picture was facing left in one depiction, and then right in another.

I thought it was creative how he pulled out pieces of the letters, just enough where you could still read, "Art is Whatever." He also used those pieces and put them at the bottom of the poster with the word remains. I believe this means that whatever is left and never changed ag

After reading this article, I realized that I never thought about why actors and actresses look so good in a movie. I think, "Wow, they really look beautiful or handsome." Then again, this did not surprise me that much, especially with the type of society we live in today. Nowadays, you see lots of TV shows or news reports about people getting plastic surgery to make themselves look younger or more beautiful. This can encourage viewers to do the same thing, or make them consider whether they too need work done. Even on social media, not every post is natural or real anymore with Photoshop. In order to get others to pay attention, or to simply receive more likes and comments, people edit their pictures. The technology that we have today both amazes and scares me as it keeps improving. You don't know whether someone is real or not and we have to be aware of this. This can cause people to have more trust issues, which can keep them from socializing with others. It is not hea
